The Ultimate Tic-Tac-Toe playbook

Bring your attention to one round of Ultimate Tic-Tac-Toe. Win three mini-boards in a row on the large board. Keep the game area visible while you use its controls. Begin with the local players mode shown on the page. Choose a clear next step rather than rushing through the instructions.

Same-device two players.

Something to practise

Compare the worked example with your own position. Use the reasoning, not an answer copied from a different board. Use the example to check your reasoning.

Understand the aim

Win three mini-boards in a row on the large board. The feedback beside the game helps you follow the round. Check the rules when you are unsure.

Start here and follow along

  1. Play inside the required mini-board.
  2. Your selected square sends the opponent to the corresponding mini-board.
  3. A closed required board permits play in any open board.
  4. Win local boards, then a large-board line.

Keyboard and screen controls

Click or tap a piece and destination; use the turn indicator and legal-move feedback. On a smaller screen, keep the active part of the board within view. Return to the rules if the result is unexpected.

See how the rules apply

A top-right cell sends the next player to the top-right mini-board. Your next round may have a different position, so inspect it before acting. Keep the controls nearby.

A useful caution

A single local win does not finish the overall game. Compare the situation with the worked example. Keep the stated aim separate from side details such as animation or appearance. Progress is measured by the game’s own completion or scoring rules.
